    I started my new job 3 weeks ago and am loving it. Seeing different people all the time and mobile technology is moving so fast I get a buzz from it. Commision is team based and always a great goal to reach.

    I am a mobile operator too. I have to go where the clients are and, since I work in the government sector, my clients are usually in a capital city, somewhere in the world. We have completed Europe now (with the Bank of England as the single holdout) so my next job will probably be somewhere in Africa, the Middle East or South America. Currently I'm hoping for Mauritius, but I could get Venezuela, Guatemala, Chile, Tanzania, Zimbabwe (), Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain or somewhere else.

    So, yes, I love my job or I couldn't do it. I love my life, but it's hard on the family to move country every 2-4 years. The money's good though.

    For the most part I like my job. I really loathe the travelling (which is a huge part of it) but I've been doing it for 7 years or so so I'm used to it.

    Love it. There's times when it's all a bit busy, and I refuse to work under the thumb of the rather (IT) dim IT coordinator, but it's a lovely place to be. Plus I get to wind kids up most of the day. Into my 7th year now, and I'm just gutted it's closing in 2009 (Northumberland schooling system is going 2-tier from the first>middle>high system we currently have in most areas).

    I'm a Marketing Data Analyst for a Utility company - it sounds really dull, but I do quite enjoy it, as I seem to get involved in quite varied types of work, plus the money in Marketing Data Analytics can be VERY good!!

    I do wish I would have joined one of the Armed Forces though - too late now though, too many financial commitments - the pay reduction would be too significant.

    I love my job it's great! I get to play all day... sometimes it does get stressful, like today when we've got lots of little ones and they are still learning to share and play nice but then one will come for a cuddle and you forget the stress
